Law Library Increased by 2000Volumes Growth for Year More Than Normal Budget Allowance for Books Cut; Many Donations Made To Law School The University of Oregon law li brary at present contains 23,000 volumes, according to a survey made by Carlton E. Spencer, fac ulty member in charge of the li brary. Of this number, more than 2,000 were added during the year ending June 30, 1933. This was greatly in excess of what is con sidered the normal yearly growth of a law library of its size, and was due, in large part, to gifts numbering 1408 volumes. “The budget allowance for books in 1933-34 amounts to $1,736, con siderably lower than in previous years, due to the general necessi ty for economy in all departments of the University,” said Professor Spencer, adding that the Univer sity of Oregon law school has nev er fallen below the minimum ex penditure for books required by the Association of American Law Schools, since it has become a member. Increased interest of the bench and bar of Oregon has manifested itself, among other ways, in an ap preciation of the school library and in frequent gifts to it, includ ing the Kenneth Lucas Fenton Memorial library of 8,000 volumes, the Robert Sharpe Bean Memorial library of 1,000 volumes, and sub stantial gifts from the libraries of Lewis Russell and Judge Mathew P. Deady, besides numerous small er donations. “Our object has always been first to provide in adequate num ber those working tools of most frequent use and greatest neces sity,” stated Professor Spencer. “Each year, in addition to keep ing up to date all current publica tions and continuations, accessions are made in the shape of the older sets, and gaps are gradually being filled. An especially noteworthy feature is that all the legal periodi cals in the United States are kept up to date in bound form.” Mrs. Pierce Visits Campus Mrs. Cornelia Marvin Pierce of the state board of higher educa tion and Miss Lucy May Lewis, director of libraries for the board, visited the campus on Wednesday on business regarding the new li brary building. Moll Recovers From Flu Professor E. G. Moll of the Eng lish department will return to his classes tomorrow. He has been ab sent for the past week with influ enza. Miss Julia Burgess, profes sor of English, is also ill with in fluenza, but is improving rapidly. Social Swim Tonight A free social swim is scheduled for men and women tonight, 7:30 to 9, at the women’s swimming pool. Towels and suits will be fur nished. DISPUTE ABOUT WORK TIME ADDS TURMOIL (Continued from Page One) cleaned the blackboards at noon. Now I have to do this after my morning classes are over. This is not the janitor's fault. The facul ty men are busy and should not be put to this inconvenience.” Professor S. H. Jameson: “The Emerald says that it is clearly against the laws of the state to employ anybody more than eight hours a day. If that is the case, I would consider the janitor’s em ployment of nine and one-half hours a day decidedly an indica tion of exploitation.” Professor Paul R. Washke: “I think that from six in the morn ing until six at night is a long day.” Professor Edmund S. Conklin: “If the law is as stated in the Em erald, it is not being abided by. I Nine and one-half hours is a long day.” ^iiimniiiiiimiiiiiiijiiiiiiiiiiHiuimiiiiiiiiimiiiiiti«tiiuiiiiiiiHiiiimiis!iii:i!:iiiiiatnHUiiii"j3 | ON SALE I Friday and Saturday VELVET VELOUR DAVENPORT CUSHIONS — also — 11 AY OX SAT IX ^ 4 Designs 4 Colors | !o Filled Reads- for Use $1.00 l| 1 BROADWAY INC. 30 EAST BROADWAY I I I I Shumaker Gives Advice on Notes To Frosh Group System of Card Files Advised in Lecture to Orientation Class Key Word Invaluable Kenneth Shumaker, who lec tured before the freshman orienta tion group today, advises a system of class notes kept in card files. He believes that the use of a key word in these notes will recall a whole train of thought, and thus be invaluable in reviewing for ex aminations. A systematized routine is nec essary to academic success, Schu maker advised, and freshmen would be wise to plan their time thoroughly and to follow the sched ule as exactly as possible. A large vocabulary was men tioned by Shumaker as one re quirement for intelligent and effi cient reading of assignments. Shumaker offered examples of a plan for enlarging the vocabulary, and told the group of his own sys tem of taking notes. Last week Professor B. W. De Busk talked to the orientation stu dents on the subject of reading ef ficiency. The orientation course, which is offered to every fresh man woman who is interested, and to Thespians in particular, is held every Thursday at 2 o'clock in Johnson hall.

Former Instructor Visits Margaret Daigh AanAalst, for mer instructor in home economics on the campus, visited that de partment yesterday. Multicolored Mice Raised By Professor Dr. Huestis Experiments With Animals Karo Specimen of Rodent Almost Makes Escape, Is Found Vp Leg of Trousers By CARL JONES Unusual mice of multicolored hues greet the visitor at the re search shack where mice-breeding experiments are being carried on by Dr. R. R. Huestis, professor of zoology. At the research shack Dr. Hues tis explained that several interest ing types of mice had suddenly ap peared during the breeding. Among them was a brown field mouse, brown not being a natural color for these mice, and a silver mouse, this one having light fur under neath instead of the usual black i fur. Mice with various sized white stars on their heads were also viewed. Then came the main i event. The cage was opened in order to bring out a mouse v/hich had a I very short tail like that of a Manx | cat. This mouse proved that he | was quicker than the hand by sud j denly darting out of the cage and on to the floor where he first took refuge behind a radiator. That mouse would have easily won the 100-yard dash against any compe tition. It -was very important to catch this specimen as it was a very rare one. The usual proced ure in capturing escaped mice is to grab the mouse's tail with a long pair of tweezers, but this method was of little good in this case because of the abnormally short tail. After the door was firmly closed to prevent the mouse from escap ing from the room, a ferreting out process began in which Dr. Hues tis was aided by his assistant, Miss Elizabeth Barto, and an Emerald reporter. With the help of a coat hanger, the mouse was forced out from behind the radiator, but he quickly scurried to another part of the room where he hid back of a box. The hunt was getting fast and furious now. The box was moved, but there was no mouse. Where could he have gone? Suddenly Dr. Huestis found out. It had crawled up the leg of his trousers', where it was quite comfortable, but Dr. Huestis was not. The only consolation was that the mouse did not decide to make a meal off his owner’s .leg. Finally, a wastebasket was pro cured into which the instructor gingerly shook the rare specimen, and then very carefully put it back o 0 0*p® "poo, •’ *# - ■ - - Wt . n fco Thomas A.

COLONIAL — "White Sister,” Clark Gable, Helen Hayes. Midnight show, "Red Headed Woman,” Jean Harlow, Ches ter Morris. By J. A. NEWTON English Picture It seems that there's going to ensue an argument between me and everybody else again. From what I hear, the populace doesn't in its cage. The party was over. Dr. Huestis is planning further experiments with these most in teresting and unusual mice. like “The Good Companions.’’ Well, I did. And I’ll tell you why: Just as Marlene Dietrich carried a weak story for me in “Song of Songs,” so Jessie Matthews carries a dull and slow-moving story in this show. I will grant that the story stands perfectly still for the first half of the picture, whiclj, incidently is rather long, and that furthermore the star isn’t intro duced until that long and unin teresting prologue, as it were, is behind. I will also grant that techni cally the British picture is fHf‘in ferior to most American produc tions, although I did see a west ern once which was worse, in practically every department. Still further I will grant that the sup porting actors and actresses are not of anywhere near the quality and ability that usually grace the supplementary cast of most Amer ican pictures. But aside and above these things, Jessie Matthews stands out. She seems to have every thing; beauty, intensity, dramatic emotion, and quite incidently, a very disturbing figure which is exhibited a great deal and to ex cellent advantage. I am willing to wager that she will soon be imported to Hollywood to work in American pictures. She sings and dances, and occasionally she is giyen an opportunity to weep and be dramatic, though the situations i are impossible. Nevertheless, she 1 makes you feel it. So, say I, Jessie Matthews has; the goods, even if the story is lousy. “Penthouse" is a tale about a young attorney who loses his love and prestige in the law business because he defends a gangster and wings against a murder charge. The story concerns his defense of his girl’s second love who is charged with murder likewise. Meantime he meets Myrna Loy, so poof for the other gal. Pretty fair murder and gang stuff. About Cartoon Carnival It seems that a rumor is float ing about that the cartoon carni val which met with such enthu siasm last night would be repeat ed Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock. It must have something about it. Tonight “The White Sister” with Helen Hayes and Clark Gable is the attraction at the Colonial. Story about an army officer who falls in love with the daughter of a prince. The tale is a tragedy on the screen, but has a happy ending in the book, so I’m told. Suffice it to say that Helen Hayes is recognized as one of the finest dramatic actresses on the screen and that Clark Gable is still caus ing heart throbs amongst the fairer sex. Tonight is also the night that dads are admitted free with one paid student admission. So come and bring your papa. A good drawing card is the fact that those who see the last show will also have the pleasure of viewing Jean Harlow, and none other, in “Red Headed Woman,” which is not such a cool show. Alumnus Visits Campus James Whitman, graduate of the University of Oregon in 1931, recently returned to Eugene after two years of extensive travel and study in Europe. Whitman stud ied for a year at the Sorbonne in Paris, and for the last year at the University of Bonn in Germany. Cess Students Use Cars According to figures released by the automobile registration office in Friendly hall yesterday, fewer students are driving cars on the Oregon campus this year than last. Only 454 students have registered to drive cars so far this year; 594 was the total registration figure last year. Applicants for Work Ask to File Schedules At Employment Office All students who have ap plied at the employment agen cy for jobs, whether they have located positions or not are asked to come to the employ ment agency today or tomor row and fill out permanent reg istration cards for the file. It is often necessary for Miss Janet Smith, secretary of the agency, to get in touch with in dividuals, She therefore urges that students come in and give her their permanent address and telephone numbers. MANNEQUIN (Continued from Page Two) phisticated. Here, plaid curtains hang from orange wooden rods, and little cacti hang from the middle of each window. A sturdy, foreign-looking rug covers the floor. Swell, Mary Lou. Ann Heed Burns evidently goes for Chinesy things. Here, a bright blue and orange combination is found giving that exotic effect. Yellow flowers in a brass bowl lend charm, and a huge bowl of golden gold fish completes the pic. ture. Mannequin likes Betty Butler’s black chintz couch cover with bunches of flowers patterned all oyer it, her dotted Swiss curtains, and the primary color of the room a joyous'green.

The types of books that seem to be most enjoyed by the students are Tiffany Thayer’s stories, which are love stories, and the “slapstick” comedy type by Thorne Smith. More men use this library than women among the students. In trying to explain the reason for this, Miss Roberts quoted the old saying that “Men are becoming educated while the women are making the grades.” Old books are now on sale, two for 25c.
